O my beard and whiskers - I turn to turn at every turn. Turn away, return, turn, overturn. What will I do for a word that means - friends turn away, stomach is turned, and mountains overturned - but that doesn't have 'turn' in it? (I already have a few synonyms here so 9:5 'don't know what hit them' and 12:15 'ravage' don't show in this list - because I said I would ignore concordance on this word.) 29.24 raises another problem - trust, faith, etc. (But here I have followed an emendation.) There is a third set of words giving me pause - man, human, warrior, male etc. I may leave the combing till the end - but just to note how much refinement is required - or not.
